About this listen

Awakening to Me is the Memoir Category Winner in 2014 of The Indie Spiritual Book Awards competition and Self-Help Category Winner in the 2015 Pinnacle Book Achievement Awards.

It is a story of personal metamorphosis, written over the course of several years in real time as life unfolded, and lessons were learned. It is a work of naked truth about Kerri Hummingbird's struggles with borderline personality disorder, recovering from divorce after a 20-year marriage, and seeking love from outside herself. The story documents how alternative healing methods (shamanic energy medicine and reiki) and mindfulness practices (yoga and Toltec wisdom) led to an amazing transformation that arguably negates the former psychological diagnosis.

Kerri shares her story so that others may witness that with dedication, faith, and a willingness to shine a light into the shadows, challenges can be overcome and lasting inner peace and self-love can be cultivated. Let Kerri's story and her heartfelt recommendations for self-help inspire you to begin your own journey of healing.

"Kerri's raw courage and vulnerable transparency blaze a trail for any woman on a healing journey. Awakening to Me is a magnificent book that takes us behind the scenes of transformation, and shows how even the most difficult situations can be the fodder for finding oneself. Let Kerri's book guide you to find your independence and self-love." - Heather Ash Amara, author of The Toltec Path of Transformation and Warrior Goddess Training.

In Awakening to Me, Kerri shares her intimate and difficult personal and spiritual journey to identify and express her authentic being into the world. Her story is engaging, sometimes disturbing, yet with a clear underlying thread of compassion for herself and others also engaged in their own struggle with borderline personality disorder. In her words, she seeks to give voice to those who have no voice.

Strong medicine for both the author and the reader

The author gave us a shockingly honest account of her emotional, spiritual and physical life. I see where it was necessary for her healing, but the straightforward sharing of her failures, failed cures and lessons is not for the fainthearted. I cringed and I wept. I was robbed and I was edified. But Kerri was the hero of her own life... which is, of course, the lesson. We can be the heroes of our lives, too, through honest and diligent spiritual introspection.

A Pretty good read, but I expected more.

It was an interesting story, but I guess I should have noticed from the title that this is a tell-all about her evolution. I was thinking there would be more tools that one on their journey of self-discovery could use. That and there were so many quotes. It was hard to pick out which was the most relevant to the passage accompanying it.
